[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Again I think only a tiny fraction will leave. J[b]obs with summers off [/b]don’t grow on trees. The ones that can afford to just stop working were probably considering that anyway.[/quote]

Teachers do not get summers off. They are contract employees, with contracts that run from August to June. In June, they must surrender their keys and ID cards, and are [b]not paid [/b]during the summer months. ("Summers off" would be paid leave).  In the fall, they return under a new contract. Please get it right.

You don’t work in the summer. You have summers off. Paid or unpaid, doesn’t matter. You aren’t working. You are off. It is a huge perk for a professional career. Why is this such a touchy topic? [/quote]

I think it is because a lot of people tend to look so down on the teaching profession in general.  We don't work enough hours, we get paid too much, etc...  [/quote]

Teachers work way too much. Much more than they are contracted for.

Pay?  Not sure how anyone thinks they are overpaid when it’s the opposite.
